Yule Shoot Your Eye Out

Patrick always dreaded this time of year. The leaves on the trees had already done their changing and pretty soon the snow would begin to fall back home in Illinois. Of course, he wouldn’t be able to see that. He never went home for the holidays, no matter how many phone calls he got from his mother that begged him to come back home and see everyone he used to know .

Every year this would happen, and every year Patrick would make sure to schedule recording dates on that Holiday week to avoid going home and seeing the girl he used to love.
